Medal table

The medal table is based on information provided by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and is consistent with IOC conventional sorting in its published medal tables. The table uses the Olympic medal table sorting method. By default, the table is ordered by the number of gold medals the athletes from a nation have won, where a nation is an entity represented by a NOC. The number of silver medals is taken into consideration next and then the number of bronze medals. If teams are still tied, equal ranking is given and they are listed alphabetically by their IOC country code.

At the 1964 Winter Olympics, athletes were tied in three events. In the women's 3000 metres speed skating and women's giant slalom events there were two-way ties for second, which resulted in two silver medals and no bronze medals being awarded in each event. In the men's 500 metres speed skating event there was a three-way tie for second, which resulted in three silver medals and no bronze medal being awarded.
